After his own party forced him into retirement, Joe Biden is waking up from his usual sleepiness to fear-monger about Social Security under President Donald Trump’s leadership.
The Democrat is set to reappear tonight, claiming to be concerned about President Trump’s efforts to fight waste and fraud in the Social Security system.
The deeply unpopular Biden will deliver a speech tonight at the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) in Chicago.
“As bipartisan leaders have long agreed, Americans who retire after paying into Social Security their whole lives deserve the vital support and caring services they receive,” said ACRD executive director Rachel Buck
This marks his first major public appearance since retreating to Delaware after leaving the White House with approval ratings in the basement.
A January Gallup poll showed only 39% of Americans held a favorable opinion of Biden, reflecting the public’s rejection of his failed policies and leadership.
Biden’s decision to focus on Social Security has been seen as an attempt to weaponize seniors’ concerns for political gain.
While the Trump administration has implemented necessary workforce reductions and stronger identity verification measures at the Social Security Administration, these changes are designed to eliminate fraud and waste—not cut benefits.
The Biden camp’s alarmist rhetoric ignores President Trump’s consistent pledge to protect seniors’ benefits while ensuring program integrity.
Biden’s comeback tour appears carefully orchestrated. His team assembled a bipartisan group of former officials to create an illusion of widespread concern.
Former Senators Roy Blunt and Debbie Stabenow and former Social Security Administrator Martin O’Malley will join Biden on stage.
The display cannot mask the reality that Biden’s own party pressured him not to seek reelection due to concerns over his cognitive decline and disastrous tenure.
What Biden and his allies will not admit is that true threats to Social Security came from their own administration’s inflationary policies that eroded seniors’ purchasing power.
The Trump White House has been crystal clear that its efforts are focused on making government more efficient while protecting the benefits Americans have earned.
Under Biden’s watch, government bloat reached unprecedented levels while services deteriorated.
The Social Security Administration has faced legitimate criticism for service issues, including long wait times and errors in benefit notices.
President Trump’s approach targets bureaucratic inefficiency while safeguarding the program’s core mission—exactly what taxpayers and beneficiaries deserve.
Critics have seized on Elon Musk’s involvement with the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency as proof of some nefarious plan.
Musk’s previous comments describing Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme” have been used to stoke fear.
Like many fiscal conservatives, Musk recognizes that without reform and elimination of fraud, the program could face insolvency—a problem Biden ignored throughout his tenure.
Biden’s reemergence from political obscurity is not about protecting Social Security but about attempting to boost Democrats’ chances in the upcoming midterms.
